The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Usopp and Chopper were both scared and excited, displaying a mix of incompetence and playfulness.

And Robin's radiant smile, and Link's gentle chuckle as he steers the ship.

It's time for another brand new adventure full of unknowns with my friends.

What could be more fulfilling and joyful than being with like-minded partners who would entrust their lives to you?

Click~

Link pushed the control stick, and instantly, the entire Going Merry soared into the sky, flying towards the direction Nami's Log Pose was pointing.

"Sky Island, here we come!!"

Luffy's loud laughter echoed throughout the entire sky.

Meanwhile, on Jaya Island.

"that is……"

On the rooftop, Van Oka, with his exceptional sniper vision, stared intently at the Merry-Go-Round flying in the sky.

He subconsciously raised his hand to aim the gun.

But before he could put his finger on the trigger, a large, dark hand stopped him.

"Stop, Oka."

Blackbeard Teach grinned, his gaze also fixed on the ship soaring through the sky.

In his other hand, he held a stack of what appeared to be brand-new bounty posters.

"They really are an unpredictable and mysterious group. No wonder they were able to defeat Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

The two bounty posters in Blackbeard Teach's hand fluttered out in the wind, with Luffy and Link's bounties of over 100 million berries clearly visible!

"They've only been out of the game for a short time, yet they already have two pirates on their ship with bounties exceeding 100 million, and the first mate's title is 'Item Master'?"

"It has many unique props..."

Gazing at the Going Merry gradually turning into a black dot and then disappearing completely in the distance, Blackbeard laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, this is the ocean! You never know what kind of extraordinary people might roam on such a magical sea!"

"But isn't that precisely why we have the motivation to conquer this ocean? Hehehehe!! Hehehehe!!!"

While Blackbeard was laughing heartily, on the other side of Jaya Island...

"let's go."

After the Merry disappeared into the distant horizon, Kulik finished the last cigarette he was holding and placed it on the small hill of cigarette butts next to him, which was filled with ashtrays.

"Go see my foolish ancestor and tell him that the Golden Land might exist!!"

Kulikai watched as the two ape brothers struggled to squeeze their large feet into the yellow round shoes, sweating profusely from the effort.

He couldn't help but grin and say, "And while I'm at it, I'll see just what kind of person my foolish ancestor really was~"

"Oh!!"

Despite being covered in sweat, the gorilla and the ape continued to shout and echo each other with great energy.

Their eyes were full of anticipation and longing.

To converse with and get to know legendary figures from over four hundred years ago, who could only exist as stories—this was something they wouldn't have dared to even dream of before today!

"Let's go!!"

Kulikai waved his hand and stepped onto the storybook left behind by Link.

In an instant, his figure disappeared.

"Sigh!!"

Upon seeing this, both the gorilla and the ape widened their eyes and quickly followed suit, stepping onto the platform.

Just like with Kulikai, the two of them disappeared from their original positions as soon as they stepped on the platform.

A gentle breeze blew, opening the storybook.

On the very first page of the storybook, there appeared a guy with a chestnut head just like Noland, and two ape-like figures.

They appeared on Noland's ship, as clearly depicted in the picture book, where the people on the ship caused a great commotion.

A new story begins~~~

Sky Island is located in a place that is difficult for normal people to reach, Qinghai, which is the sky above the ocean.

The area around 7,000 meters is called the White Sea, while the high-altitude ocean above 10,000 meters is the White-White Sea.

Therefore, such bizarre legends of oceans in the sky lead ordinary people to believe that these islands in the sky are just imaginary and do not exist at all!

In the past few years, most of those who wanted to go to the Sky Island have died; those who survived are either exceptionally strong or exceptionally lucky.

Such people are few and far between, and they are all among the world's strongest individuals; they disdain to proclaim anything to the world.

Therefore, the legend of the Sky Island has been circulating in the sea, but no one has been able to verify it.

There are two ways to get to the Sky Island. One way is to take the regular flight route, starting from the Western Summit and encountering several Sky Islands along the way.

However, this kind of battle is fraught with danger, and companions can easily perish one after another in these struggles.

In the original version, Bellamy later used this method, which resulted in all of his other companions leaving this world.

The second method, which Luffy and his crew used, involved riding the towering current known as the "Monster Current" directly to the destination, but the survival rate was extremely low.

However, it also has the advantage of either all members perishing or all members arriving safely.

Besides these two conventional routes, if the ship or crew has the ability to fly, then naturally they can reach their destination more easily, just like the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Is this the ocean of white clouds above the Sky Island?"

Zoro gazed at the endless expanse of white around him, finding it hard to believe that he was currently in the sky.

"Great! Sky Island, we've arrived safely! Hahaha!! Cough cough, haha, cough!!"

Requesting flowers.........

The silly, idiotic captain cheered upon arrival, then started coughing uncomfortably.

The sky island is located at a very high altitude, and the oxygen is extremely thin. The body needs to adapt when it suddenly arrives there.

However, this did not stop Luffy and his crew from looking around at the strange, cloud-like ocean with curious, shining eyes.

Sky Islands are located above the Grand Line, tens of thousands of meters above the clouds, and the entire world is composed of sea clouds and island clouds.

Therefore, what is presented to everyone is such a magnificent and fantastical world.

“It’s so beautiful~”

Looking at the pristine white scenery before him, Link couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"The pointer's direction has changed!!"

Nami was also providing real-time updates on their current location.

The pointer on her wrist, which had been pointing vertically upwards, began to tilt at a certain angle.

This proves that their journey was correct, and that the Sky Island is real!

And they are getting closer and closer to the Sky Island!

This news immediately lifted everyone's spirits.

I'm not afraid of putting in any effort or paying any price when doing things, but I'm afraid of my hard work being meaningless.

Now that they have discovered that their goal has emerged and is no longer far away, everyone is full of energy.

"Then let's keep moving forward!!"

"Oh!!"

Amidst Luffy's laughter and the echoes of his other crewmates, the group headed towards the direction of the Log Pose in the distance.

Before long, the group saw a cloud that looked just like a waterfall.

Beside the clouds, there was a large, seemingly ancient gate.

The wide, ancient gate was open, and above it hung a plaque that read "Heaven's Gate".

"It really is a very bad omen..."

Looking at the plaque that seemed to be ascending to heaven, the group felt a little strange.

However, they quickly put that feeling aside.

Because they had already seen an old woman at the entrance of the gate, dressed in pinkish-purple clothes, her body all wrinkled, her figure short, her face full of wrinkles, and her face resembling a sour plum.

Her appearance was no different from the inhabitants of the sea below; the only difference was the pair of small, pure white wings on her back.

An angel? Probably not...

A group of people, including Luffy, all shook their heads in unison.

How could an angel look like that?!

Sanji, in particular, kept shaking his head.

He simply couldn't believe that the Holy Angel President he had always longed for looked like this.

More like a devil~

"I have a feeling that you're thinking something very rude."

The old woman, with a face full of sour plums, slowly spoke, her voice unusually hoarse.

"Um, Grandma, do you know where Sky Island is?!"

It was Luffy, the social butterfly, who spoke first, asking with great anticipation and barely able to contain himself.

"Sky Island? You look like you're from Qinghai?"

The old woman with the sour plum glanced at Luffy and his crew's empty, wingless backs and the Going Merry beneath their feet.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

Qinghai is the name given by the residents of the Sky Island to the sea below, and people who come up from the sea below are also called Qinghai people.

"I am the guardian of the gates of heaven, my name is Amazon." (Corpse)

149 [Gravel], considered a treasure on Skypiea! Extremely profitable! So lucrative!!

The old woman with the sour plum, who was from the Amazon, introduced herself there:

"If you want to enter the Sky Island, please pay the entry fee first, which is 10 billion IQ per person. This is the law."

"How...how much?!"

Everyone was startled by what the old woman from Amazon said.

"10 billion, 10 billion Iraqi kilograms?!"

Usopp's lips trembled slightly from the sheer size of the number.

While it's unclear what the exchange rate is between the Irk and the Pele, a billion dollars is still a sum for one person...

Isn't this just a bit too outrageous?!

"One billion? Are you sure you're not joking with us?!"

The first one to object was undoubtedly Nami, who was particularly sensitive to money.

"With so much money, are you robbing me?!"

She instantly transformed into a sharp-tongued woman with fangs, resembling a vicious debt-collecting woman, and viciously spoke there.

"Actually... you don't have to pay~"

But the old Amazonian woman merely glanced at her and then spoke slowly.

"Wait, what?!"

Nami, who had originally planned to fight for three hundred rounds, was suddenly stunned.

The others were also stunned.

Such a huge sum of money, and you just say you don't have to pay it?!

"Are you sure about '660'..."
